Ultrasound Guided Biopsy

Transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy (TRUS) has rarely been associated with disseminated infection, yet the occurrence appears to be increasing. Resistance to fluoroquinolones, the most commonly used prophylaxis, is one of the likely causes, withEscherichia colibeing the most commonly reported cause of these infections. Herein we present what is, to our knowledge, the first case ofEnterococcus faecalissepticemia and vertebral osteomyelitis after TRUS. Previously reported cases of this condition are referenced also.
